Research

Professor Bohlinger is currently working on a book titled A Second Utopia: Soviet Film Style between Montage and Socialist Realism, 1928-1936. This project is based on archival documents and films found in and around Moscow and examines the changing content, look, and sound of Soviet Cinema during the early years of Stalin. He is also co-editing a volume of collected essays on Soviet-era movie stars. In addition to film and television, his other interests include mind games, gardening, cooking, and carbs.
